Not that we want students to actually write memos on their smartphones, but given how busy they are, they may find a new legal writing app to be a useful tool as they prepare to write, and once they have a draft, to revise and improve what they've written.

The app is My Legal Writing Coach, put together by Kirsten Davis of Stetson University College of Law, and it provides structural templates and checklists; tips for conducting research, improving the quality of the memo, and working more efficiently; guidance on adapting a memo for email; annotated sample memos; and more. To get the modestly priced app--or to learn more about it--go to iPhone/iPad App Store, or for Android devices, to Google play.
